LISA is a new optical distribution frame designed specifically to handle systems working at 1625nm in the X band.
The antenna's exceptional electrical performance combined with its elegant streamlining and economic design offers unique customer value and integrates seamlessly into modern train models.
The unique broadband capabilities of the new antenna allow SencityRail to cover frequency ranges from 870MHz up to 5.9GHz - which includes the bands GSM900, GSM1800, GSM/PCS1900, UMTS, ISM 2.4, 3.5 and 5GHz.
For railway operators this means significant savings in materials and logistic costs, and installation time as now only one antenna is required to cover all different communication systems.
SencityRail is tailored to meet the severest outdoor environmental conditions on train rooftops and has successfully passed all tests by Deutsche Bahn in Germany, Alsthom in Italy, Icomera in Sweden and has also been approved by SBB in Switzerland.
Technical features of the new broadband antenna include uniform radiation patterns for optimum radio coverage, a medium gain of 6 to 9dB across the signal bands, VSWR of less than 1.5 and a maximum composite power of 400W.
